We are so thrilled to announce that today Movement Generation launches our campaign to raise $1 million to build a first-of-its-kind Justice & Ecology Center in the San Francisco Bay Area, on 43 acres of rematriated land! We need your support to make this dream space for our shared community of organizers, healers, artists, and earth workers a reality.

Check out this beautiful film short we created in partnership with Survival Media Agency, narrated by Alixa Garcia and starring so many of our powerful movement allies! This video shares our vision for the Justice & Ecology Center—our vision for our collective future.

Read this interview in between and about the upheaval at the Sierra Club and what it means for green capitalism and frontline communities. Link in our stories.

Michelle Mascarenhas: “As social movement leftists, we cannot cede the space of the big institutions like the Sierra Club to the right or to liberal forces. As “strong men” archetypes rise to carry out authoritarian agendas in nation states around the world, we are also seeing that happen in our institutions as part of the backlash to the feminist, anti-racist gains we’ve been making. As they try to isolate us, it’s imperative that we stay anchored to a political home that includes folks inside and outside those institutions. So it’s key for us to build that space to recraft our strategy.

Secondly, the climate justice movement needs to gear up to take on this new front of facism. We’ve seen ecofascism coming from the Right but we need to now take on the liberals directing precious resources—time, labor, capital, attention—towards a testosterone-fueled “get mine,” or growth at any cost, agenda. What we need to understand as the new renewable energy tyranny. The Sierra Club’s new “electrify everything” framework is a death sentence for the majority around the world, from Ghana to the Gulf South and from the Arctic to Soweto. The Left has made great strides in the past several years to make what is materially necessary to address the ecological crisis—land back, indigenous sovereignty, reparations, community-controlled economy—more and more politically possible. We can’t cede the space now.”

This article about by our dear friend Al Weinrub is a must read! 💯

“Using the power of the state to enforce the centralized energy model is at the heart of California’s new renewable energy tyranny. And this tyranny has now spread to the federal level, as substantial public investment is now set to go toward large-scale renewable energy projects across the country. These projects will be controlled by and benefit an increasingly powerful renewable energy oligarchy. Being touted as a solution to what is popularly regarded as the “climate emergency,” this centralized energy model has actually failed to meet our communities’ energy needs, and at the same time has exacerbated systemic energy injustice.”

Hello to all of our new friends and old comrades who want a refresh! We want to share pieces of our theory of change. In the face of ongoing, interrelated, and urgent ecological disruption, from severe wildfires and smoke to devastating floods and scorching heatwaves, the ecological grief is too real, and our hearts are with everyone out there. We can get through it together and build new worlds where we and this little place we call home will thrive.

Tomorrow! An offering from :

Centering and Practicing Disability Justice

Facilitated by Patricia Berne, Executive and Artistic Director, Sins Invalid

Tuesday, July 11 · 7 - 9pm EDT
ONLINE

The workshop will be facilitated in English, with interpretation between English, Spanish, and ASL, and English and Spanish CART.

We all have some relationship to what is considered the "normal" or the "non-normative" body, and it's likely a relationship laced with assumptions, judgment, and unacknowledged power and privilege. In the workshop, we will look at the dominant political framing of disability, examine its relationship to capitalism, cis-heteropatriarchy and white supremacy, and explore the counter-framework of Disability Justice where all bodies and communities are valued.

Happy solstice! 🌞 What a beautiful day to announce our big news: We’ve partnered with to rematriate 43 acres of land in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, in unceded Bay Miwok territory!

With support from our network of interconnected land and justice movements, MG raised the funds to purchase the land, and Sogorea Te’ closed in December 2022, liberating the title from the speculative real estate market. We and Sogorea Te’ have created long-term agreements together so that MG may root our work on this land. Together we are building Black and Indigenous solidarity and planting the seeds for a land-based revolution.

MG envisions this land to become a Bay Area movement hub for deep political strategy, reconnecting with earth and ancestry, and practicing rematriation. In the future, the space will host intergenerational programs for organizers, healers, cultural workers, and earth workers to engage in grassroots ecology, building their capacity to guide their own communities towards a Just Transition and an ecologically regenerative future.

So much gratitude to Sogorea Te’ for choosing us as partners and giving us the opportunities to build relationships with this land, be rooted here, and dream our wildest land dreams. And shoutout to all of our partner orgs who helped make this possible! and Reimagine Real Estate.

To achieve a Just Transition, we must q***r our movements. Period. As we imagine navigating the large economic and cultural transition with a vision of justice, we must honor q***r, trans, and Two-Spirit wisdom and uplift those whose lived experience is one of the struggle for a just transition for their own lives and bodies, against the system of heteropatriarchy. If the crisis of our times is the eradication of biological and cultural diversity, and diversity is our best defense, then in this moment we must embrace q***r and trans liberation as a key frontline struggle to advance a radical rejection of conformity and uplift diversity as necessary for our collective survival and liberation.

Join us, and co-sponsors THIS EVENING in Oakland for a free family-friendly event with Petna Ndaliko from the Yira circle of belonging. He is a descendant of the Basukali clan from Masereka and Kitamiaka lands in the eastern part of today’s Democratic Republic of the Congo. As an awarded filmmaker, activist, and educator, Petna and his multi-genre artistic works are acclaimed for their decolonial Africanfuturistic artistic style, which engages historical content to address contemporary sociopolitical and cultural issues.

For his newest film, Petna is partnering with Indigenous leaders deep in the Congo Basin who are organizing to protect the world's second-largest rainforest against accelerated attacks from extractive industries that threaten our collective future. His film will elevate the impacts of international funding to efforts that do not prioritize the local and Indigenous communities as key decision-makers and provide a tool for their advocacy efforts.

RSVP at the link in bio.

Donations received will go to support the making of Petna's film and the organizing work of the Indigenous communities in the Congo Basin rainforest.

IMAGE ID: Flyer with an image at the top featuring a filmmaker with a camera in a canoe in the water. Headline reads: From Congo to Oakland: Connecting for Climate Justice.

We support teachers on strike! When you look at it this way ^, why is it even controversial? Schools can be key nodes of a local, loving, linked economy in Oakland. Oakland Education Association’s Common Good proposal is a Just Transition strategy for schools and makes way for school communities to live into a regenerative economy that centers sacredness and care. This multifaceted proposal focuses on resources for the most vulnerable students, along with demands for shared governance and ensuring educators and support staff are getting better wages. Oakland communities need and deserve all of this. Swipe left to see some of the key proposals by Oakland teachers.

Allies can help by contacting OUSD Board members Mike H, Sam Davis and Cliff Thompson and pushing them to act on the common good proposals. Contact them to say that you care about the full package and those are all pieces of good working and learning conditions for our community.

"A Just Transition requires us to build a visionary economy for life in a way that is very different than the economy we are in now. Constructing a visionary economy for life calls for strategies that democratize, decentralize and diversify economic activity while we damper down consumption, and (re)distribute resources and power.” -Movement Generation

This is a definition from Movement Generation is pulled from the "Comprehensive Building Blocks for a Regenerative and Just 100% Policy" guide. There are many ways to describe what a Just Transition looks like, but there is always one shared vision: The transition itself to transformed, healthy, thriving communities powered by community-based, clean, renewable energy sources must be just and equitable. This means a clean energy economy grounded in secure, safe, and sustainable jobs, and a future where frontline communities and people of color are empowered to lead the movement for equitable clean energy and advance racial, economic, and environmental justice. ☀️

You can read more on this in Section 5 of the Building blocks guide, “Just Transition at Center of Policy.” https://bit.ly/JSCBuildingBlocks

https://movementgeneration.org/biological-and-cultural-diversity/

Y‘all, I just finished a two-part keynote where I got to talk about Just Transition principles on day one and Self Care and Community Care on day two, with folks launching amazing justice-centered ministries, and I can’t believe I get to do this for a living. Thanks, New Church Ministry and Disciples Church Extension Fund! Keep up the visionary work.

(Also I got to quote Movement Generation and Brian Woodson and Deborah Lee and Malkia Devich Cyril and Alexia Salvatierra and Kazu Haga and Rita Nakashima Brock, so I felt like my friends were in the room with me.)

Hey relatives, due to the urgent environmental issues happening around the world, me and my family Studio, Fishbear Studios are releasing a sample pack of the coloring book with 10 illustrations for download. We hope you take these materials to discuss these types of issues with your youth and family as it is important that these conversations are happening amongst us. Being able to talk amongst ourselves generates ideas, solutions, and the starting steps to creating change. We are the stars that our ancestors have sent to heal the world. Much love and safety to everyone.

Link >>>> https://www.fishbearstudios.com/colorsoftheland

We will release the full project with descriptive text to accompany each illustration on October 11th. These coloring pages are designed to have space for you to incorporate your own designs as I am not from everyone's respective territories and want to respect everyone's tribal art.

Creative Wildfire is a collaboration between Movement Generation, Climate Justice Alliance, and New Economy Coalition. This sticker pack features beautifully-designed artwork from this project, plus a bonus sticker.

Do you have any organizational crushes? Movement Generation is mine. They do BRILLIANT work at the intersection of racial, economic, and environmental justice in REALLY innovative ways. I think you might love this exercise they offer so people can really get their heads around the impact of climate action or inaction.

“The issue with the environmental movement for so many years has been a lack of diversity and a lack of shared lenses around environmental racism,” Deseree Fontenot of Movement Generation says. “We don’t see ourselves in that movement, but we do see ourselves in the places which we’ve had to make home over and over again, places that are deeply affected by processes like extraction, or the forceful removal of natural resources from their rightful place at a scale, pace, and intensity that ecosystems cannot recover from or regenerate.”

It doesn't matter how many followers you have. You can grow from anywhere. You can even grow from HERE.

Have you dreamed of growing your own unique, digital audience, but don't know where to start? Does the digital space give you a headache? Do you find yourself comparing yourself to others?Does engaging with social media feel so overwhelming that you often just give up? I have good news: there IS hope as long as you approach social media with a healthy dose of both curiosity and boundary setting.

In this workshop, Maddy will provide participants with helpful hacks for cultivating an online audience, strategies for enjoying oneself online and practical advice for maintaining one's mental health on social media.

Maddy is one of the amazing artists Climate Justice Alliance had the pleasure working with as part of the project together with New Economy Coalition and Movement Generation.

A word about Artist's Oppression under Capitalism: ...each artist I'm about to list gave their time & energy beyond what you hear or see on this project. They were compensated humbly out of my working-class income & grant funds and I can't put a price tag on the value of their labor, lifeforce energy & creativity...Capitalism makes artists & our art commodities to be bought, sold & consumed, instead of honoring us as Essential Cultural Workers and our labor with salaries & healthcare, etc. This project would not be a fraction as powerful without the contributions & brilliance of the following artist. SUPPORT ME, SUPPORT THE PROJECT, SUPPORT US - FOLLOW and SHOW THEM LOVE. (Thank yal frfr from the bottom of my❤️)

Whose world is this? in 94' Nas & Pete Rock told us "The World Is Yours”. Almost 3 decades later we're faced with an incredible opportunity to truly embrace this phrase & scorn fear while staring down what feels like the barrel of a gun called Climate Change. Whose World? (Red Black and Green New Deal) prod. by our beloved Hawk Beatz is out now & I’ve made it available as a free download through Earth Day 4.22 exclusively on www.CocoPeila.com

 2 yrs ago I released 'Whose World? ( )' in an attempt to signal-boost the existence of Climate Change & engage us in creating a solution. This is a spiritual practice, how I clear my head, & how I encourage myself to face & do something about “…the problems of our world today”. As always, I wanted to share that practice with yal…Last year while participating in Creative Wildfire, a project, call to action & community created by Movement Generation Climate Justice Alliance & New Economy Coalition, I started doing research about who was organizing Black/African Heritage people around Climate. Aya de Leon shared that the Movement For Black Lives had developed a Climate Agenda for Black people called the Red Black and Green Deal, & from there it was a no-brainer to switch up the lyrics, integrating the values and points of the . I’m hella excited to share this, the first of several songs off my Creative Wildfire project, & look forward to learning & exchanging knowledge + solutions about Climate Change & how we end the Climate Emergency ASAP!

BIG LOVE to the late legendary Hawk Beatz, & to his family for letting me release our collaborations after his passing. We kicked it & ran in many of the same circles in our teens and 20s but didn’t begin collabing til our 30s, it’s truly a blessing & honor to release this with his Ashe and energy on it. He was a very deep Soul. The song carries a particular significance as he had a distinct perspective on music x social justice framed by his Bay Area & Cuban cultural identities, a true Revolutionary at heart.
Blessings✨
